What Is PumpSwap?

PumpSwap is Pump.fun’s newly launched decentralized exchange (DEX) on Solana.

It eliminates the previous 6 SOL migration fee and allows tokens to migrate instantly after completing their bonding curve.

PumpSwap charges a 0.25% trading fee:

  • 0.20% to liquidity providers

  • 0.05% to the protocol

The launch positions Pump.fun in direct competition with Raydium amid declining memecoin trading volumes.


PumpSwap Launches as Pump.fun’s Native Solana DEX

Pump.fun has officially launched PumpSwap, its proprietary decentralized exchange on Solana.

Previously, tokens graduating from Pump.fun were required to migrate to Raydium, incurring a 6 SOL migration fee. PumpSwap eliminates this cost and streamlines the process.

The move comes after a reported 60% monthly revenue decline and growing competition in the Solana memecoin sector.

Why PumpSwap Matters

Pump.fun has:

  • Created over 8.7 million tokens

  • Generated 3.2 million SOL in cumulative revenue

  • Powered roughly 70% of Solana token launches

By launching its own DEX, Pump.fun:

  • Captures liquidity internally

  • Removes external dependency on Raydium

  • Reduces user friction

  • Expands revenue capture

This signals a strategic vertical integration shift.

Key Features of PumpSwap

1. Instant, Fee-Free Migration

Tokens migrate automatically after bonding curve completion without the previous 6 SOL charge.

2. Competitive Trading Fees

  • 0.25% total trade fee

    • 0.20% → Liquidity providers

    • 0.05% → Protocol

This is comparable to Raydium’s fee model.

3. Free Liquidity Pool Creation

Users can:

  • Create liquidity pools

  • Provide liquidity

  • Participate in AMM trading

All without upfront costs.
